The facts behind Elizabeth Warren, her claimed Native American ties and Trump's 'Pocahontas' insult

Elizabeth Warren might never live down the charge of falsely claiming Native American roots. The controversy emerged during the Democrat’s successful Senate run in Massachusetts in 2012, and it continues to dog her.

In the throes of the 2016 presidential race, then-candidate Donald Trump tagged her with the nickname Pocahontas, and he has trotted it out virtually every chance he gets — even at a White House ceremony to recognize Native American soldiers who fought in some of the fiercest battles of World War II.

Warren’s central offense dates back to the mid 1980s, when she first formally notified law school administrators that her family tree includes Native Americans. Warren said she grew up with family stories about both grandparents on her mother’s side having some Cherokee or Delaware blood.

That genealogical claim has zero documentary evidence to back it up, according to a PolitiFact review of news and newsletter databases back to 1986.

“Fight climate change.” What the hell does that even mean?

You beat the air and scream at the sky, of course.

When she was a young Indian maiden, her name was “Foxy Haunches”

Maybe that’s how she snagged her first husband.

Now that she’s old and wrinkled fauxcahantas will have to do.

"She's a *Cambridge* Moonbat....which is anything but "typical". "

Having worked in Cambridge for 15 years I can guarantee everyone here that while San Fran moonbats are the loopiest and Chicago moonbats may be the most corrupt (more committed to tyranny, gain, and power than a real loyalty to an ideology) Cambridge moonbats are the most devoted to the marxists cause, live in a hypnosis that the economics and social structures will work if only they are implemented correctly. Cambridge liberals never, ever question themselves and are lemmings who believe themselves to be independent thinking and fierce defenders of humanity. In that sense, though they believe themselves to be the smartest, they are the most like zombies in that there is zero self reflection or awareness. They live in an all encompassing fantasy that they are leading the saving of humanity.

If "Buddha" means 'awakened one', then "Cambridge Moonbat" means 'one who is totally hypnotized into the delusion that he is both awake and never had to do anything to attain that state except live in Cambridge or one of the accepted satelites.'

The Republicans spent $30 million dollars to defeat him in the primary.

How much did they spend to help him defeat Jones? Only a fraction of that.

That alone pretty well tells everyone that the Republicans didn’t really care if that seat went to a Democrat.

Without a doubt the DNA route has been fully explored, and if it had proved her Indian heritage we would have heard about it months ago.

She doesn’t have a drop of Indian blood in her.

Some enterprising busboy or waiter should just pickup a water glass she’s used, drop it in a bag and then offer it up for a reward.

Perhaps we could put out a bounty on her water glass. I’m sure if the bounty is big enough - somebody will step up to claim it. Of course, we would need proof that she drank from it and would have to have her fingerprints on the glass. Even if she claimed that the DNA wasn’t hers, it might force her to take a public DNA test.

Push comes to shove - we could always start a GoFundMe page.

Food for thought ...

No one is ever going to convince me that an almost six foot tall, blonde haired, blue eyed white woman has a scintilla of Indian(Asian) blood.

That is how DJT should refer to Squaw High Cheek Bones. “Lieawatha” works well to.

Running Bear Lyrics, adapted

Johnny Preston

Dedicated to Fauxahontus

On the bank of the river
Stood Running Bare
Young Indian brave
On the other side of the river
Stood Fauxahontus, his lovely Indian maid
Little White Muff was her name
Such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other
So their love could never be

Running Bare loved Little White Muff
With a love big as the sky
Running Bare loved Little White Muff
With a love that couldn’t die

He couldn’t swim the raging river
‘Cause the river was too wide
He couldn’t reach the Little White Muff
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her
Throwing kisses ‘cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave

Running Bare loved Little White Muff
With a love big as the sky
Running Bare loved Little White Muff
With a love that couldn’t die

Running Bare dove in the water
Little White Muff did the same
And they swam out to each other
Through the swirling Trump they came
As their hands touched and their lips met
Loyal Trumpers pulled them down
Now they’ll always be together
In their happy hunting ground

Running Bare loved Little White Muff
With a love big as the sky
Running Bare loved Little White Muff
A Fauxahontus love that couldn’t die

Liberals/Marxists/progressives/Dems. Here’s what they always do...

1. Lie (they just love to lie and lie and lie, and their alleged consciences never seem to suffer.) And...

2. Play the victim.

They always do this (cast themselves as victims), and they quickly come to believe their own lies and victimhood.


That is also what they do in their personal lives for the most part.

Elizabeth Herring Warren was born in June 1949. So indeed, she was only 13 years old at the end of her freshman year, and according to all published interviews, she began dating her much older first husband Jim during her sophomore year when she was only 14!

I was 17 when I was a senior.

So what's your point?

Liz Warren was only 16 when she graduated and her husband was already over 20 and they had already been dating for 3 years!

According to Oklahoma State laws, her relationship during her last two years of high school, could be considered rape by Jim Warren in the second degree! She was under the age of consent and he was over 18.

Much more believable than her story of being sexually harassed by her disabled boss, who she claimed chased her around his desk, yet he was confined to a wheelchair.

Moore should have dropped out so we could win the seat.

Because someone made up a story about him? I suppose you also believe that President Trump should have dropped out, when all those women made up their stories about him? Did you vote for Hillary?
